Showcase | Renee Hindman | Pumpkins

“The pumpkin stand was inspired by Skye Hardwick’s lemonade stand while assisting her on a commercial project. When I saw her lemonade stand it brought back such fond childhood memories. I used to sell lemonade every summer with my little buddy down the street. I sometimes credit my successful lemonade stand to my rewarding photography business.

I took that lemonade idea and tweaked it a bit to make my own vision of childhood for my daughters. I always love taking their pictures at a pumpkin patch, but you can never get a good image without several people in your background. I knew I needed to make my own pumpkin patch. By making the scene interactive I have also found that I get more genuine expressions and they enjoy the shoot getting to “play” something. “
